Kinda surprised there wasn't a thread for this. Has anyone played it yet?

Reviews have been average, and people were making a big fuss about the microtransactions before launch. Can anyone that has played it comment on if the microtransactions impact the game at all, and how cooperative play turned out? Also is it still a horror game or is it just straight action with some jump scares?

Just got to Chapter 7. I'm liking it quite I bit. I don't think that by the virtue of being able to craft weapons that it has become more shooter centric. It might feel that way with all the gun options but the core game play isn't really different.

I played and loved the 1st one though to be honest I am too scared too replay it for the achievements or the following games. That noise those docile necromorphs make in the "greenhouse" area of DS1 still gives me bonafide chills.
